@paburu it’s good for some things, and an interesting way to get started with RF exploration, personally I prefer the HackRF with a portapak but they both sort of complement each other. The flipper is definitely more stealthy!   @solonovamax https://flipperzero.one - Canada wants to ban them even though that doesn’t make much sense because there are plenty of other ways to do the things they do with easily obtainable hardware. @SecureOwl @monnier @SecureOwl They originally asked for cell phones to be turned off for safety, not security. FAA wasn't 110% sure, that a cell phone wouldn't interfere with the aircraft's instrumentation. These days, they ask you to put your phone in airplane mode, so it won't be screaming out for a cell tower it can't reach. Thus making it so your phone will have a charge on it, when you land.  @nthp @monnier @SecureOwl Specifically, old-style analog phones on around 800 to 900 MHz could not be guaranteed not to interfere with DME positioning as a result of powerful nearby transmissions on the mirror IF frequency of the aircraft's DME receiver.  The anti-Flipper Zero hype reminds me of past hype, such as anti-D&D and anti "Violent Video Games", and "Rock and Roll Music" You can’t defend yourself to security, you must impose cost for the attacker. So I propose that these attackers are treated as terrorists and shot on the spot like Osama bin Laden.  @SecureOwl@infosec.exchange time to buy a hackrf one and be an absolute menace to society @SecureOwl politicians never fix the root cause of problems. They're always afraid of becoming useless in a working society. @SecureOwl y’all think this is going to cause a run on Flipper Zeros, the same way gun sales take off whenever someone mentions firearms regulations?  @ReasonableMustelid @SecureOwl a boost in sales seems certain based on the Streisand effect. @SecureOwl  @SecureOwl I think about this a lot. I don’t really know the problem space, but wouldn’t it be somewhat trivial to implement a car remote with a public private key pair or some kind of solution like that? I’ve never understood why it’s hard to make this problem go away.  @andrewfeeney @SecureOwl most car remotes use rolling codes, making basic relay attacks inoperant. @andrewfeeney @SecureOwl auto manufacturers who profit from increased sales because customers keep flocking back to the same brand despite garbage security....   @starsider @SecureOwl or a cheap sdr or the CC1100 i found in a remote controlled dimmer or a stupidly expensive lab grade sdr or one pin on a raspberry pi or a fuckin usb-vga adapter or hell you can make something yourself at home they cant ban all of Electronics |
@SecureOwl
Precisely.
